Movement occurs because of "demand" not because of "supply".
Exactly. Back when I wrote this all up (4 years ago? 5?) a fair number of players demonstrated in games that they could replicate it. Is it easy? not the first time. Once you get a few of the nuances, pretty straightforward.

Anyway, if you can it helps with the ASW. If not, you burn ~12% of your fuel moving stuff by sea. Noticeable, but most players are not fuel bound anymore, it is all supply-bound. Against Andy AI in my games, fuel is more of an issue. I have to move my fleets a lot more to respond to all of the 'incursions' ...
